In this other "Expert" level sci-fi game from Infocom, you are
an alien frozen in an underground cryogenic chamber that is part of an underground
complex that controls the planetary weather control devices. In the event of
emergency, your mind (but not your body) is activated in order to coordinate
the repair efforts carried out by six robots: Auda, Sensa, Iris, Poet, Whiz,
and Waldo. Each robot has different abilities: Auda can hear, Iris can see,
Sensa can detect photon emission and ionic charges, Poet can touch, Whiz can
connect you to the central library core (a computerized database), and Waldo
can manipulate objects. You have to co-ordinate the robots' actions and correctly
interpret their reports. To help you do this, Suspended comes with a full map
of the underground complex and 6 robot markers to help you visualize and plan
their moves. It's quite difficult even on the "easy" setting. |
